Get in a spooky mood with this haunted library meets Edgar Allan Poe wedding
A gorgeous black gown, haunted library details, romantic white roses, spooky jazz music, and a killer theme made this Halloween wedding spooktacular. We’re SO in the mood to start scheming Halloween weddings, and this one is downright scary good. Don’t miss the dry ice, creepy candy buffet, and amazing rustic venue.
A curious masquerade wedding of oddities and glamour
The theme started out as just “masquerade,” as I’ve always wanted to have or attend a masquerade ball, but as we began to brainstorm ideas, we started working bits of ourselves into the details. My husband and I have a large collection of antiques and oddities, and we ended up incorporating different pieces from our home into each of the centerpieces and the decor. Thus, “The Curious Masquerade” was born. Maps, medical models, scientific instruments, antique candelabras, and other various things all got (carefully!) flora-fied and bedecked.

A real time ring tattoo at this goth Utah wedding on Friday the 13th
Let’s set the scene: a glam black dress, a dapper long-locked groom, a Friday the 13th wedding, all in Utah. The bride, Stephanie, is a tattoo artist and even inked the wedding band on her groom Larry’s finger right after the ceremony. It was a hugely DIYed affair in a stunning venue filled with paper roses (made from pages of anatomy books and sheet music!) and hints of darkness among tons of light. Let’s gaze at this chic meets goth Utah wedding.
Try to survive this haunted castle wedding without dying of love
Reema loves skulls and Derek is a hard core Chiver (Bill Murray fan). They decided to take their show on the road to a haunted castle in Ireland. Reema custom-designed her skull wedding ring and coffin ring box, created her own earrings and necklace, and even her wedding dress was custom designed to match her goth tendencies. The music reflected their rock and metal tastes with some “Stairway To Heaven” and a choir version of “Nothing Else Matters.” Add in some Dr. Seuss, a handfasting, and a rose ceremony, and you’ve topped off this skulls meets Bill Murray haunted castle wedding.
